Contributions

Francis and James had made a model of a DNA molecule which help us understand biology better. It shows us the health of families which makes it an icon.

Contreversy

Although crick and Watson were the first ones to put together all the data to make a DNA model they had used other information by other researchers. In 1969 Watson published an autobiographical account about the double helix which was not publicly accepted by Crick or Wilkins.
